I hope they have made enough iPhones to cope with all these new markets.

These guys at Apple are really master marketers.

Without so much as issuing a single press release, they are building market tension and demand for their product through the use of third party announcements. As these announcements dribble out, one by one, it is becoming obvious to anyone paying even a small amount of attention to this, that version 2.0 of the iPhone is going to be a tremendous hit, and the market for software for this item is going to dwarf the Mac market - until developers have realized that developing for the iPhone is not remarkably different from developing for the Mac itself.

Then, Katie, bar the door!

There must be something wrong with Skandinavia since we still has neither iPhone or iTS with movies and tv-shows. Hello! Apple!? Dont forget us up here!

Orange’s African markets include Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire) in West Africa where I am from. Let me tell you:

I was there for my vacation last month and the iPhone (unlocked, of course) was everywhere. So it's a very wise decision to start selling it in Africa, since Orange is there!!!

WTF!? Will somebody PLEASE announce something for Japan already! If the next gen iPhone isn't available to be ordered in Japan on the day that it's announced, some frickin' chairs are gonna frickin' fly!

"Wilikomen" or "welcome to world domination.....

Yay for Poland! My current contract conveniently ends in August. Hello, Orange!

Apple should customize each iPhone with the countries flag. Then we can collect em all.

Now if only t-mobile would carry it in the USA.

Hey, what's about Russia and Ukraine?

You know...10 million does not seem so unreachable after this announcement.

russia and the ukraine have almost 200 million people combined with lots of people with enough disposable income nowadays. i hope apple isn't so arrogant to ignore that just because of outdated preconceptions of these countries being poor.

When is the iPhone coming to Tuvalu?

Apple is going to save the best for last. When Apple announces the new iPhone, China and Japan will also be announced. Mark in it iCal, stock will go wild.

Yihaaaa Belgium!!!!!

Thank you Steve for reading the Macdailynews comments!!

So, how long do we still have to wait? One week, two weeks, max four weeks? And what countries and carriers are still awaiting the iPhone? Scandinavia, Spain, Telefonica, Russia, China? - That should about cover the waiting time.

MW done

@jasenpheffor, I believe Japan has an all CDMA network, until that changes or Apple can fit dual circuitry in the current design it could be awhile. Most of the world is consolidating around GSM anyway. Even Verizon may be coming around as per pressure from the parent Vodaphone.

Note that this officially establishes that, at least in some countries, there will not be an exclusive carrier deal (Portugal, Switzerland and Egypt?) as Vodafone as also said that they would be selling the iPhone in those countries.
